Sorry I haven't got the time for an explanation with pictures but you might want to try that :

- Create a rectangle in the front viewport
- Create one letter somewhere inside that rectangle (always in the front viewport)
(vertices of the letter and the rectangle should be aligned in the left viewport)
- Select all the vertices (letter and rectangle)(can't remember if you have to merge
rectangle and letter before that)
- Go to the menu "Vertex / Create 2D mesh / XY Front"
- Extrude inward your letter ...

It's an example for one letter only, you might have to tweak it a bit, but it's the
only thing I have in mind. Maybe someone else could help you.

Good luck.
